I am new to visual studio.net 2005. What I need to do at my new job is to
write an application where users can enter data into 'screens'. The data that
is entered will end up in excel spreadhseets. Once the data is entered into
the excel spreadsheets, I will then export the data to vartious sql server
2005 databases for processing.
 This application is not suppose to be a web aplication. The application is
suppose to be like an 'exe' that someone can click on and then execute.
 I am wondering how to accomplish this task and what security issues would
I need to be aware of.
 Also when the 'exe' is deployed, what .net features would need to be
inlucded in the deployment package?

I don't think you would want the users entering data into Excel. They are
probably requesting a Windows Forms application. If you are doing VB, I
recommend you check out the "Start-to-Finish Visual Basic 2005" by Tim
Patrick. In it, you end up building an entire application, and you can see
how all the glue works. Or check out Deborah Kurata's book, Doing Objects in
VB2005, in which you build an entire application using business objects,
which has better coding standards than Mr. Patrick's application. Deborah
Kuratat's book helped me make the jump from VB6 to VB2005; it has a lot of
neat tricks about VS2005 in it, too.

You can deploy the application using the ClickOnce deployment capabilities
included in Visual Studio.

Good luck.
